For those who played with the first waves of The CORPS (vintage ones) in their childhood and even incorporated them to your G.I. Joe command perhaps you could help me with something. I did not have any when I was a kid but I would like to purchase some however despite all the research I have done about those toys the information on the net is very poor.
One of the main questions I have is: who were the bad guys? As far as I can understand, they were some kind of global military task force but I do not see any mention of the enemy they face (unlike the new CORPS whose enemy is "The Curse"). Were they like Chap Mei's "Super Soldier"? No enemies to fight? Additionally if someone knows about an archive site about vintage CORPS toy line I would appreciate that information. Thanks for reading and your input. |

Try here for Corps infohttps://www.og13.com/forums/forumdis...8-Lanard-Corps
Years ago the guy who runs Smalljoes.com store had a site, but I think it's long gone. Covered the o-ring stuff. Vintage o-ring CORPS had no enemy. The first enemy was the Marauders, who were 12" then later 4" (2000's t-crotch era). The Curse is the current enemy. |

Oh, and if you aren't aware, a couple of the guys on here set up a dedicated Corps forum:
Home | The Corps Fans HQ There isn't a formal "archive" there yet (not in the way YoJoe is set up, that is), but there's a few threads regarding figures from the 80s and 90s...including some real obscure stuff.
